Solution

The correct option is C

Five times


The cost of 12 bananas = ₹ 24,
So, the cost of one banana =
2412= 2

The cost of 10 apples = ₹ 100,
So, the cost of one apple =
10010= 10

Therefore, the ratio of the cost of an apple to that of a banana = ₹ 10 : ₹ 2 = 5 : 1.

So, an apple is five times costlier than a banana.
